im going to test the delete folder option...

the thing stupid is it happens even if dont do a reboot...its working fine and in stand by and suddenly i receive a message and when im going to see it, there is a dot instead of the icon. Then i go to the preferences and i see that there all lost and everything is like when i installed the first time...i have the v4.2.9, maybe better try the v10b. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I don't think v10b is going to help you unfortunately. I'm not changing anything in the way the database is being managed.

I'll need to investigate this further. So far it seems its not affecting the majority of folks out there. Perhaps its only related to a specific Android version.

If I'm going to implement a backup-settings feature, I might as well change the way preferences are handled for good measure.
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
ok meanwhile ill try to uninstall and delete the folder you said to see what happens
[Android Apps and Games] mystery007:
Now - my settings are saved (have deleted the directory) and new installed, but NoLed isn't working yet.

Test is well, that's all :(

What are the savest settings to get 4.2.9 working?

NoLed is on, Status-Icon is on, Accessibility Service and MainService are on
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
reboot your device once and make sure you test it with something like gtalk or email. Also make sure nothing else is interfering either like task killers/not having a lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] mystery007:
Now is working fine - thx!
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
cant see what folder must delete...

im using Astro and in /data its empty
[Android Apps and Games] androkurd:
thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I believe root is required for that folder
[Android Apps and Games] jarsiv:
I have same problem. Settings not being saved. After rebooting there are default settings and NoLed asks twice that donation. Will not help even if I select "I'm broke".
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
please read the posts above.
[Android Apps and Games] jarsiv:
Thanks, seems to work now. Maybe need to donate now :)

Sorry for bad english.....
[Android Apps and Games] rabak:
Whatsapp popup notification

any fix to the Whatsapp popup notification?

if i use that feature and NoLed works it does announce that i had Whatsapp activity

but the minute i move from the lock screen the message is marked as read

if i dont use popup notification in Whatsapp then everything works fine...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
try to use the back key to dismiss NoLED?
[Android Apps and Games] malavan:
nice app

although I do not own any samsung phone, I think the app is so excellent so I donate to the op well done.

by the way so it works well on n1

0SX93036PE365342R

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
i still didnt deleted the folder cause i found nothing...i was told that i need to have root to do it.

im using Darky's v9.5. can someone give me link to download root?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
download root explorer and navigate to that folder with it and then delete com.led.notify
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
thanks. is there any free software that can do this too?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
well if you know how to use adb

then fire up a terminal and

adb
su (click yes when prompted on your device to allow root access)
rm -r /data/data/com.led.notify

and you should be all set.

otherwise I'm not sure about other free root explorers. maybe someone else can help you with that.
[Android Apps and Games] spider_mg_zr:
i used adb and deleted the folder...removed no-led, reinstall no-led, configure no-led, restart and configurations back to the beginning :(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i'm out of ideas :(
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Found a bug. Got a launcher pro force close just when I got a text and NoLED kicked in with its notification. I was unable to cancel the notification nor close the force close message. The power button and volume buttons worked fine though. Had to force restart the phone in the end.

Sent from my Samsung i896
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i don't think many people will get a text message and a launcher pro FC at the same moment :D

anyways, you can always go to miscellaneous > and uncheck "disable touch screen"

Other Phone support (LCD, not OLED)

This is a great app for people that do not have a LED on their device for notifications. I understand it was developed for OLED type displays that do not use power when showing black.

I have a Dell Streak that has a LCD display with LED back lighting. I have noLED set for power savings, 1 second on, 15 seconds off, and the largest icon. It would be great if I could change the back ground to white instead of black. It would make it easier to see the phone wake up. I know this is bad for OLED but it is great for LCD.

This is the only app I have found that lets you choose any app to show notifications. Many are limited to SMS or SMS and GMAIL. A couple do more items, your apps supports everything. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
:D

Well it also happens with the low battery notification lol. But I can just press back to get rid of the low battery notification
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
good idea except that I'm not entirely sure how well the pixels are designed to go off/complete-white at set intervals. not really looking forward to the day someone comes here telling me their pixels are dead :eek:

i love the idea though. maybe a disclaimer will do if I decided to add it to the blink submenu.

thanks for your suggestion anyways ! I'll see into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
For some reason today, since receiving a Gtalk alert, every alert from Gmail shows the Gtalk icon instead.

Anyone else have this issue?

Great App

Maybe you can call it "noLED for LCD".

The only app I found close to your app is called Missed Messager Flasher. It flashes the LCD for 500ms with a progressive delay between flashes as time goes on. I flashes when any app creates a sound notifcation.

I prefer the ability to choose the apps I want to flash the screen. The only differnce is I wish your app did it with a white background.

Thanks,

Sean
[Android Apps and Games] myfifth:
Cool app!

It's not quite convenient that SGS doesn't have a LED.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] awojtas:
Loving the app - just came from a SE X10i which was replaced under insurance with Samsung Galaxy S - was totally missing the LED until I found this app!

My wishlist, having come from an Android ph with LED for 9mths, is:

- Custom colours for individuals in SMS, or,

- Inherit LED colours from monitored app. For example, if Go SMS is set to "blue", then inherit that colour for the NoLED notification.

- Icons that don't move around so much

- Custom colours for monitored apps, e.g. Trillian = orange; GoSMS = blue.

- Easier theme installations

Great work OP... love the app... thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] GreenBot:
Is there a way to make it work with CHOMPSMS? It works for my missed calls and stuff. But SMS is the most important :)
[Android Apps and Games] nicoloco:
if you search on the thread you will see that it works on CHOMPSMS ... at least it worked for one guy.

Maybe you need to change the notifications settings ( do you have vibration or ringtone ??)
[Android Apps and Games] joymonkey:
I think this is a common problem with using this app on a T959/Vibrant. It probably relates to the fact that the Vibrant doesn't have a physical Home button (it has a capacitive touch button instead) and uses the Power/Lock button to unlock, whereas the I9000/Captivate has a hard home button.

For us Vibrant/T959 it would be great if there was an option for NoLED to unlock with the Power/Lock button instead of Home.
[Android Apps and Games] lgkahn:
Same problem here got sms late at night and over 4 hours no led via display consumed 20 percent battery...
[Android Apps and Games] ZeCoder:
Thanks for your post.

The issue of NoLED consuming battery is confirmed.

I did my math , every 10 min of NoLED activated = approximately 1% Battery reduction

Thats 6% / 1 hour

Yes, it is huge.
[Android Apps and Games] gadjet0:
Just because only some of the LEDs are illuminated there will still be the support hardware, that drives the screen, active.

This will consume energy to continually scan all the LEDs (screen refresh) and keep them switched off or on in respect of the red LEDs.

The only question is how much energy and is it less than dedicated LED hardware used in the nexus one? probably not as I imagine it would use the processor in the i9000 where, i believe, the nexus one has dedicated hardware that is set going by the processor and then the processor is idle.

Still I think it's a good idea and I'm using it.
[Android Apps and Games] javacody:
+1 This is a great idea!
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
I actually fixed the issue I was having. Check out post 215 to see how I fixed it.

If I use a visible unlock pattern I don't have any issues. I press home when I see the red dot and it takes me right to the unlock screen where I can put in my pattern. If I use an invisible pattern I have the issues.

Thanks,

Cody

How about making the lighted menu keys act as notifiers

As in other phones, such as the Pearl, that have lights of some sort on the front of the phone, the best thing to do is program the lighted keys at the bottom of the Vibrant to act as notifiers.

(On the original Pearl a developer made the multi-colored trackball act as notifiers).

Should be easy to program, I would think, to make the hard menu keys flash as notifications.

And each key could designate by flashing a distinct notifying event.

Flashing Menu = missed call

Flashing Home = Voice mail

Flashing Back = New e-mail

Flashing Search = New SMS
[Android Apps and Games] bito2363:
Has anyone figured out how to toggle the app on/off? It's easy enough to force-stop, but how do you get it up and running again?

Doing this would make it possible to turn off the app at night when you're afraid of it sitting for extended periods of time draining battery, then you could turn it back on for daytime usage when it's needed.
[Android Apps and Games] teddyph33r:
This is good idea, does anyone know what those i9000's touch-buttons (settings & back) consume energy when you compare those with that whole screen?

ZeCoder, could this kind of "flashing-button-notification"-app be possible to code?
[Android Apps and Games] soraxd:
i uninstalled NoLED, its a good idea, but the screen doesnt turn off. i lost 40% battery leaving my phone in the car today, i came back and it was almost dead
[Android Apps and Games] Steephig:
There are possibly just 2 LEDs behind the touch buttons, so flashing those won't consume much energy. They're not even in the batt stats so I assume (yeah I know, stupid) that their usage is negligible compared to the other consumers.

Alternatively perhaps the red dot could be flashed every 30 seconds orso and not display permanently. The dot should be bigger and brighter then to ensure it attracts enough attention.

I did uninstall the app today after it consumed 8% of battery within on 35 minutes this morning. Unacceptable to me.

But I very much like this app, a good fix for this strange omission of Samsung.
[Android Apps and Games] nmoline:
This is funny, I did the exact same thing today. I had a test so I left my phone on in my car it had 98% when I left it, about 5 hours later it had 45%. I immediately deleted the No Led. Played on the phone for about an hour. Left it back in my car with 38% for the second half of the test and about 4 hours later I had roughly 22%. Not exactly happy that i lost 16% in four hours on standby, but I think I had gmail sync on and greader sync. So not terrible.

As long as no led leaves the screen on which was over 90% of my power usage after the first half of the day I left it off, I will have to just result to checking myself.
[Android Apps and Games] bessertier:
I think everyone in the Galaxy s family is pulling for this to become a reality, I'm sure you all know that just about every android news site as posted an article on this...

Is there anything we can do to help? I'm on the Samsung Vibrant with Tmobile and would love to help out if I can.
[Android Apps and Games] gTen:
CPU usage like on a PC doesn't mean it isn't using energy..it just means its doing minimum amount of work...but is not idle...

But either way I think it should blink rather then constantly stay on anyways to conserve power..even making it blink for 1 second once every 5-10 sec should be good...

I'm looking on my old Mogul with a notification light and it blinks for 1 second every 5 seconds as well :/
[Android Apps and Games] Omega192:
Wow, brilliant solution!

It's apps like this that make Android devs unlike any others :]

Kinda stupid of Samsung not to include a notification LED to begin with, though :/
[Android Apps and Games] Steephig:
I had the same after uninstalling. It seems a ghost process still is running. A reboot fixed it for me.

A small bug

Hey, found a bug today with the sleep time selection: If you set a time for off or on by clicking on the number and entering digits, they will only be applied if changed again by '+' or '-' symbols, else there is no change to the original time when pressing OK.

I am kind of tired today, so ask again if it is unclear what i mean ;)
[Android Apps and Games] The Undertakerr:
A real bugger that it doesn't give a notification for the stock email.apk. I can't find any settings for that..:-(
[Android Apps and Games] tiuk:
Choose "email" under monitored apps (or other apps, don't remember)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks for these suggestions/ideas.

I just wanted to let you know that the icons's moving time interval can be customized. You can set it to 100 seconds for example, if you want them to stay almost completely stationary.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by custom colors for monitored apps. Did you mean a custom color for when the notifications are displayed as dots? or completely override an icon's color in case dots were not used?

Yea, its there for a while. The problem is with the widget I integrated into NoLED and its not that great because you can't "listen" to key events when users just type stuff in these textboxes.

Here's a little lame workaround: type the number in, but before pressing the OK button, click once on the other text field and then press on ok. that'll register your typed number when you focus your cursor on the other text field.
[Android Apps and Games] wilx:
Had no problems until I installed gingerbread,now the button LEDs come on and stay on.i have tried uninstalling and re installing,but still the same, I have tried setting don't light the burrons option, but nothing happens .i Havre also tried setting the proximity detector so wont be on in my case, but it goes off for a second then lights up again.if I cover with something that is not black it seems to work, or is it because it is furry inside.anyone else having any of these problems?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, its Samsung screwing their touchkey Gingerbread implementation.

I fixed it by flashing a custom kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041169

Unfortunately I can't do anything about it because the drivers themselves are not implemented or mapped correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] wilx:
Thanks for that, so is that what is screwing the proximity too? I could live with the button LEDs if it turned off in my case.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Proximity sensor is working fine here so far, so I'm not entirely sure about that.
[Android Apps and Games] awojtas:
Cheers for hearing my suggestions.

Sorry for not being clearer - you got it right this is when dots are used - the wish was that instead of all monitored apps being the same "All other" color, you could manually set a monitored app to a different color. I can see you can change the icon but I couldn't see how to change the color. It's not really very important though :)

Forgot to say that the "inherit LED color" from app wish (don't even know if this is technically possible) would mean apps like GoSMS and Handcent could be used for individual SMS colors as NoLED would inherit them, so there'd be no need to implement individual SMS colors in that case except for Stock SMS.

Also, you should have a Donate version (like Barnacle Wifi for example) to easily support you, this is an awesome app :)
[Android Apps and Games] byterapper:
Sadly I am not really aware of how to program for Android, but I once had a similar problem programming with an environment unable to get box change events. I solved it similar to your workaround: Instead of a OK button I used a generic one and had a "read boxes" function and then the submit/ok/whatever. But like I said, no experience programming for this device :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've kind of neglected the dots implementations since I use icons for almost all my notifications here. But I agree it would be great to have different dots and colors for selected apps in Monitored Apps. I should add this to the to-do list.

Also, donate is in-app now. You don't need to leave the app or use PayPal, just click on Donate on the main menu for details and your Market billing settings will be used.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Fixed !! yaay

I had to do a nasty workaround, but now if you click ok right after typing the number, that number is saved in the database correctly. also, I've noticed that previously pressing Cancel saved the values anyways if you were pressing the + or - values. So that's taken care of as well.
[Android Apps and Games] AuroEdge:
Please consider adding options for when power is connected. For me it would be useful to disable notification timeout when plugged in, 5 minutes when on battery
[Android Apps and Games] rabak:
using the delay sms notification

but for some reason the handcent popup gets closed

i do see the notification in the status bar tho.. so no biggy

but! when i press and go to see the message in the conversation it doesnt mark the message as read

which leads thats when i will get another sms the same sms popup from and previous message will so up and also the current sms popup will show up...

wierd ****..

anyone experienced that?

i guess noled only makes the popup hidden for some reason in the background

and when you watch the sms in the conversation handcent doesnt mark it as read since in their end they see the popup window is still active... ( so ****ty move by handcent that they dont dismiss that popup after you open the current conversation with the sender...)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'd rather not include options such as these that can be done (and should be) by Tasker and Locale. The amount of if/then cases that I can add are tremendous and I think diverge from the purpose of the app. After all its there to display notifications and not act based on the many different events that are there.

I'm considering adding more options to the Locale plugin that NoLED includes, so you can set the timeout and other such functionalities from there instead. Currently you can only disable/enable NoLED from the plugin.

tried contacting Handcent about that ? Most of these apps are not happy to have an app displayed on top of the lock screen and do not include a use-case for it.

[APP] NoLED v4.3 - Use the AMOLED screen for incoming notifications

Madmack,

I just recently bought a T-mobile LG G2x. I came across your app from another post in the G2x section, since the G2x has no notifications via LED.

So i have a request: my understanding is that since the G2x has an LCD screen... that the back light stays on all the time (when displaying anything) and that to use the "least amount of energy" you would use an all white screen. Where as on an all all black screen you are "blocking" some light to make it dark, so therefore you are using more energy(how much i do not know) by blocking the light. Basically the reverse of the Galaxy S with AMOLED. This may or may not be true, but can you make a setting that has an all white background instead of an all black one? Or maybe just post the default theme, with a black background. I am sure anyone who has the G2x will try anything to save our battery life and still get notifications. As a G2x user i fin this app very uses full.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I didn't know that white pixels would consume less battery power than black on LCD panels :cool:

I'm actually done implementing a white background that goes with the "blink" feature (its optional, as always). You can try that out, and if you think it truly does save battery power, i'll add an option to give a white background on the regular screen as well.
[Android Apps and Games] rabak:
nope i didnt try to contact handcent

just wondered if anyone else experiencing this kind of problem or maybe its my configuration..

since handcent is a popular app so i guessed i'm not the only one having that problem...

i just wanted to confirm that...

image editing/creation is not exactly my realm of expertise :o

Believe it or not, not a single image in NoLED is my creation with the exception of the awesome red dot in the app drawer (too much work for me :cool:) and some market pics which are equally as awesome /s

How about you give me two png files. One for ON and the other for OFF, and if they improve what we currently have, I'll get em replaced in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyby1023:
Haven't found a fix to this one yet.

Had Noled working fine on Fascinate 2.1. Just upgraded to 2.2 and lost notifications for calls. Text and gmail are ok, notifs will stack ok. Soon as a call comes in I lose any existing notifs and do not get a notif for the call. A call with no previous notifs won't alert either.

Reinstalled, changed the usual settings with no luck. Is there a bug with the Fascinate and 2.2?
